Talk:Charles de Gaulle

From Wikiquote

I have one but in French, and hard to translate :

In response to someone who shouted "Mort aux cons" he answered "Vaste programme en effet..."

Hehe this one always made me laugh, but I'm not able to translate it either :-(

In response to someone who shouted "Death to the bastards" he answered "A vast program indeed..." --200.35.221.205 02:55, 13 February 2007 (UTC)

I don't know much about French, but doesn't "Mort aux cons!" mean "Death to [dumb?] asses!" ?

[edit] description at the top

"leader of Free France" of "leader of the Free French", which is it to be? I'd gravitate towards the latter, but that's just my opinion62.252.32.11 01:47, 13 Jan 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Error in WWII section

Take a look at my picture of a plaque on a memorial in France for the correct date of "La France a perdu une bataille, mais la France n'a pas perdu la guerre." I'd be very surprized if even French monuments got this wrong...

[edit] Quote by Mrs Churchill

I've often seen the quote attributed to Mrs Churchill: "General, you must not hate your friends more than you hate your enemies". Can someone pse give a citation? I don't have the Churchill books, but perhaps it's in one of those. Mikeo1938
